For as long as I can remember, my mother always made homemade traditional Ukrainian and Polish dishes. Soup was a daily ritual prepared from homemade stock and vegetables grown in our backyard. My sisters and I loved coming home from school and smelling the tantalizing aroma of soup simmering on the stove. Now that I have my own family, I have taken this tradition and crafted my own soups. Many are based on my mother’s favourites – like this wonderful Borscht – but I have introduced soups from my husband’s Italian traditions and added a few traditional soups from other countries.

Meet the Family
They say behind every great Chef stands taste testers! Just as I was the taste tester for my Mom’s recipes, I am happy to introduce you to the taste testers for The Chef’s Apron: my family! My husband Richard and my daughter Stephanie have been my “honest” testers since the beginning. They have helped our site to become successful by taking on many new roles! Together, we have worked on creating and expanding our website and social media, they have read everything we put in print, and most important of all, are still chopping lots of vegetables and pounds and pounds of onions.
